“Yes.” Xie Li replied indifferently, then remembered something, narrowed his eyes again, a lazy but inexplicably cold gaze, “Why?”
The coldness of that gaze surprised Qiao Shengyu, who squeezed out a smile, “No, nothing. I felt a little surprised, I didn’t see that you two had such a good relationship before, hahaha….. thought you two had drifted apart because of Pei An An.”
Xie Li stood up nonchalantly, “Do we have something with Pei An An?”
He didn’t seem to want to get an answer, he just asked a rhetorical question. He got up from his seat and took the two plates that Yu Rui was holding, and put them on the table.
Yu Rui said nothing, after hesitating, he greeted Qiao Shengyu and the others and then sat down opposite Xie Li.
Yu Rui handed him a pair of chopsticks, “Last time you said you were not picky about food, so I bought you one just like mine.”
“Thank you, Class President.” Xie Li, in a rare moment of ‘docility,’ reached out to take it.
Qiao Shengyu stood beside Yu Rui, and although Yu Rui’s words were not strong, he heard them.
At first, Qiao Shengyu was curious about the current situation between the two, but after hearing this, Qiao Shengyu took the initiative to stop the conversation with several friends.
“Brother Rui, have you eaten with Brother Li before? When was that?”
When Qiao Shengyu asked, several guys beside him also looked curiously.
As for Xie Li, they had all heard something from Qiao Shengyu. At his age, mystery was the coolest layer of identity, and their interest in discovering Xie Li’s interpersonal relationship was much greater than eating and chatting.
Yu Rui’s smile lingered for a moment when several pairs of eyes stared at him and asked him that question. The smile on his face had frozen for a moment, but it returned to normal before they noticed.
Yu Rui lowered his head, and with his chopsticks, picked up some bamboo shoots, “A few weeks ago.”
Xie Li just curved the corners of his mouth and listened.
Qiao Shengyu frowned in confusion, and the doubt in his heart overflowed even more.
At this moment, two seats away, a sincere lackey blurted out with a smile, “You two have known each other for a month or so, right? And you had lunch together a few weeks ago, the progress is so fast!”
The person next to him patted the back of his head and scolded him, “What do you mean by fast progress, do you know how to use words?”
“Hey, why are you hitting me? Can’t friendships progress quickly?”
“Making friends is getting along at first sight, and falling in love is called fast progress!”
“!!”

The second bamboo shoot that Yu Rui had picked up with the chopsticks fell onto his plate creating a splash. His face darkened, and he could hardly keep the gentle, harmless smile on his face.

“Gb sbe offi cjwfv?”
A low-pitched voice slipped into You Rui’s ears.
Yu Rui looked up, the corners of his lips still slightly curved into a smile, but his eyes looked at Xie Li coldly.
With all the mouths and ears around him, Yu Rui naturally wouldn’t bother with Xie Li at this moment, so he pretended not to listen to him and glanced sideways at Qiao Shengyu beside him.
Yu Rui smiled and changed the subject, “Why don’t you eat?”
Qiao Shengyu turned around when he heard the question and without waiting for him to say anything, the boys beside him laughed loudly.
“Aiya, Qiao has a girlfriend! Can he be treated the same as us?”
“That’s right, every day someone brings him food, and if they sit together, they feed each other.”
“Tsk tsk, enviable.”
“Stop.” Despite saying this, Qiao Shengyu did not hide the bright smile on his face, “We just take advantage of lunchtime to talk and go over notes, how come you guys make it look so dirty?”
“Do we make it look dirty? Hey, who dragged someone to kiss her in the park behind the school after lunch? If Brother Qiao talks and goes over notes like this, don’t talk and go over notes accidentally in bed.”
“That’s right. if you’re here to talk and go over notes, why haven’t I seen the top two students in our grade talk and go over notes?”
“…”
At these words, a sudden silence spread across the table.
The person who opened his mouth received a nudge from the person next to him, and that person also reacted, realizing that he was so excited to gossip that he even made a joke about Xie Li and Yu Rui.
Yu Rui is well known for his good temperament, so they are not too worried, but Xie Li?
The one who opened his mouth, turned his head slowly with a stiff smile to look at Xie Li’s expression.
“Sorry Brother Li, I didn’t control my mouth well, I’m just talking nonsense.”
“…”
Xie Li looked up lazily and seemed to pause for a few seconds weighing the words. He then directed a passive glance at Yu Rui before curving the corners of his lips.
“It’s okay, you’re just kidding.”
Several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Li lowered his gaze again, “Besides, we’ve already talked and gone over notes together… it’s just that you haven’t seen us.”
“!!”
Yu Rui’s chopsticks stopped.
The few remaining people also froze, unconsciously turning their heads to look at the two of them.
Someone reacted first and burst out laughing, “Brother Li also likes to joke? But don’t joke with our Class President; the last time he sat with us, Brother Qiao told a dirty joke, and the Class President turned red from his neck to his ears!”
“Yes, yes, I remember that too. Hahaha!”
One person took the initiative; the rest followed the conversation and joked about that incident.
After the above person regained his composure, his eyes slowly roamed around Xie Li, as if small knives were coming out of his eyes.
Xie Li was sure that if it wasn’t for them being in public, Yu Rui would have grabbed him by the collar a long time ago, and punched him in the face. But at this moment, Yu Rui’s eyes were cold and dark, and the beautiful face, whose facial features were more beautiful than girls, had a harmless smile.
Indeed, I still prefer to see the corners of his eyes reddened, the redness of his neck to his ears, either because he is about to cry, or because he is angry, or…
Just when the thoughts inside Xie Li’s head were about to go up to the 200 km/h highway, a girl hesitantly approached Qiao Shengyu.
And the reason why the girl hesitated was Xie Li, who was sitting next to her seat.
Qiao Shengyu explained, “They are our classmates, Brother Li and Brother Rui; you know about them, don’t you?”
The girl nodded hesitantly, obviously a little embarrassed.
The other boys at the table immediately laughed.
“Hey, Brother Qiao, I suddenly realized that you’re in danger. Brother Li and Brother Rui excel more than you in terms of appearance and qualifications, be careful.”
Qiao Shengyu waved his hand, “Hey, what the fuck are you saying, are Brother Li and Brother Rui that kind of people?”
“Then you have to be nice to our sister-in-law, do you still let your sister-in-law bring the food for you? Brother Qiao, you can’t do that. You treat sister-in-law like a mother-in-law would treat her daughter-in-law, don’t you?”
“Stop joking with me!”
Qiao Shengyu was speechless for a moment before suddenly remembering Yu Rui by his side, his eyes lit up.
“The Class President even brought the food for Brother Li, why don’t you say she’s a daughter-in-law?”
Yu Rui, “…”
Yu Rui, who no longer knew how many times he had been inflicted with harm during the meal, was on the verge of being unable to contain his expression.
When he slightly gritted his teeth, the person in front of him let out a low laugh.
Yu Rui looked at Xie Li.
A few guys laughed and joked as the girl sat down, then she remembered something, took out the meal card from her pocket, and handed it to Qiao Shengyu.
Qiao Shengyu wanted to take it, but in the end, he didn’t, “Keep it. I don’t have time to go to the store today. It saves me from having to give it to you again for dinner tonight.”
“Really?” Asked the girl.
Qiao Shengyu, “Well, I won’t be able to.”
At the whole table, there was only one couple, so naturally, the attention was on them.
Right after this conversation ended, the guy on the other side of Qiao Shengyu winked and bumped into his shoulder, “Brother Qiao is aware?”
Qiao Shengyu was surprised, “What’s wrong?”
“You give the meal card today and the salary later; aren’t you aware that the family’s financial power is in sister-in-law’s hands?”
“…”
Unable to argue, Qiao Shengyu blushed.
Xie Li reacted to the words.
After a few seconds, he took out a new meal card from his trouser pocket. The campus card with his picture on it was slid onto the table towards Yu Rui.
Yu Rui paused.
And the guys next to him, joking around, didn’t know which one of them had noticed first and turned to look. He froze at the image.
THE AUTHOR HAS SOMETHING TO SAY
Brother Li: Inspired.jpg
Oh that’s all we need is for these guys to teach Xie Li new ways to court his love 😆
WOW, Boundaries is a word that he has not learned yet. Don’t know if to laugh or cry. Thank you Big Sis.
If I were Yun Rui , I would have dug my own grave and jumped in from embarrassment.
